Wukong saw through it all: if Ling Weiyang would sacrifice someone as powerful as the Nine Kirins without a second thought, then it's likely that no one truly loyal remained by his side. To others, they might also appear as mere cannon fodder, expendable at any moment. Following such a person was akin to courting death. Ling Weiyang was a tactical genius; he knew what could be done and what couldn't, and to what extent certain actions should be taken. For those deeds that seemed impossible, he knew exactly how to arrange them to make them feasible.

It must be admitted that in terms of tactics, strategies, and many other aspects, Ling Weiyang indeed exceeded Wukong. Although Wukong had changed a lot after many experiences, he still fell short in comparison to Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao. After all, the two of them were constantly engaged in secret gambits with the superpowers of this universe. However, there was one thing Wukong possessed that Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao did not: sincerity. This was an advantage, but at times, it was also a weakness.
Yet at least now, Wukong had a clear understanding of the situation. The Nine Kirins were absolutely vital to Ling Weiyang, even more so than his right-hand men. Therefore, the Nine Kirins would definitely not perish alongside Wukong and the others, not for any reason in the world. So, Wukong bet that, although the current situation seemed dire, there was still a lifeline present. Perhaps the Nine Kirins did not fear death, but they would definitely not choose it while their objective remained unfulfilled.
With this realization, the urgency in Wukong's heart gradually faded. Although the situation remained gravely dangerous, once he calmed down, he could see much more. Pushing his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes to their limit, Wukong soon detected the trickery involved. However, he still couldn't be certain, because he wasn't very familiar with the Nine Heavens Clear Wind or Nine Heavens Pure Earth; if he guessed wrong, he would truly be in a desperate situation.
"Hei Kui, Wujing, check out the sandstorm. Something about this situation doesn't seem right!" The sandstorm had been far away before, and Wukong was somewhat panicked due to the sudden turn of events, so after a brief check, he didn't think much of it. Now, considering the actions of the Nine Kirins, Wukong suddenly had a bold idea. Maybe the sandstorm or tornado formed by the Nine Heavens Clear Wind and Nine Heavens Pure Earth wasn't as terrifying as imagined? Otherwise, there was no way the Nine Kirins could escape from here. Teleportation wasn't possible; even Wukong couldn't open his mystic space, let alone teleport.
Thus, it was impossible for the Nine Kirins to escape. If they didn't want to escape and didn't want to die, the only possibility was that they possessed the ability to survive within the sandstorm. The Nine Kirins' cultivation was similar to Wukong's, if not slightly inferior, so if they had a way to survive, it was impossible that Wukong and the others didn't. Especially after Wukong noticed something different about the sandstorm and tornado, this idea grew even firmer.
"Eldest brother, something's not right. How come this Nine Heavens Clear Wind and Nine Heavens Pure Earth are so weak? They're practically on the same level as my Nine Heavens Pure Water!" As mentioned before, Wujing's Nine Heavens Pure Water had been significantly diluted. Hearing Wujing say this, Wukong was almost certain. "Everyone, don't worry. The sandstorm and the tornado are not as fearsome as they seem. Just be careful not to be ambushed by the Nine Kirins," Wukong stated. As soon as he finished speaking, the sandstorm on one side and the tornado on the other arrived nearly simultaneously, submerging the fifteen people—Wukong's group of six and the Nine Kirins' nine—in a barrage of flying yellow sand.
When the sandstorm and the tornado collided, an intense explosion occurred. These two forces, which should have shared the same origin, were utterly incompatible; the moment they made contact, powerful energies began exploding. Endless yellow sand swirled with countless cutting blades, creating a horrific scene in the air resembling the end of the world. The sandstorm and the tornado frantically rubbed against and tore at each other while consuming one another's energies. It felt like two ancient giants locked in fierce battle, neither yielding an inch, each fighting as if their lives depended on it.
The storm lasted for over a Chinese Hour, and it was only after that the two destructive powers finally began to slowly dissipate. When the storm subsided, the entire space suddenly became quiet. Not only did the sandstorm and tornado disappear, but even the raging winds and sands that had been there before were gone, leaving the world looking so pure and clean. On the ground, there was now a very large sandpit that resembled the impact crater of a meteorite.
After a long while, at the bottom of the sandpit, a man suddenly sat up straight. "I'm really not dead, haha, old Sun really has an eye for this. Sword Hero, Hei Kui, Old Sha, Flame God, are you all okay?" At this moment, Sun Wukong was in quite a sorry state—covered in sand, not to mention his mouth was full of it as well, having spat it out while shouting. His body was also covered in large and small bloodstains, as if he had been dismembered, but fortunately, the wounds were not too deep. However, as Sun Wukong had been buried in the sand, the wounds were filled with sand and were quite painful. He grimaced as he conjured water with a spell to wash his wounds, while scouting the surroundings with Divine Consciousness.
If he had survived, then the Sword Hero and the others should be alright, and the Nine Kirin must have surely survived as well. So now was not the time to be careless, because if he were to be ambushed by the Nine Kirin at this time, it would be disastrous. Divine Consciousness spread rapidly around him, and soon, Sun Wukong found Sha Wujing, who was also buried in the sand and had just woken up and climbed out. Sha Wujing's first words instantly made Sun Wukong burst into laughter. "I thought I was back in the Flowing Sands River for a moment, but the sand here is too dry!" Seeing that Old Sha's condition was much better than his own, Sun Wukong felt relieved. Indeed, he had been right. Both the sandstorm and the tornado turned out to be bluffs, without any real Attack Power—only the terrifying aura of the Nine Heavens Clear Wind and the Nine Heavens Pure Earth persisted, otherwise, no one could have survived.
Following Old Sha in awakening was Hei Kui. Hei Kui had been buried quite deep but had not received any serious injuries, and quickly climbed out. He washed his wounds while inquiring about Sun Wukong and Old Sha's conditions. Next to Hei Kui, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero also emerged. The Sword Hero was worse off; as a swordsman with exceptionally high Attack Power, his defensive power was quite pitiful. If not for Sun Wukong using the Primordial Earth and Old Sha using the Primordial Water to create a double layer of shields for the Sword Hero at the last moment, it would have been likely for the Sword Hero to have suffered severe injuries. Despite this, there was still a deep wound on the Sword Hero's back.
"It wasn't the sealing wind that got me; I was ambushed by Sha Hun. If it weren't for your two shields, I'd be really out of luck!" As Sha Wujing went to the Sword Hero's side to clean his wound and used the power of Primordial Water to help him heal, he remarked that even though Old Sha's Healing Ability was not as monstrous as Ye Zi's, stopping the bleeding was still manageable. After Sun Wukong cleaned his wounds, he also walked over to the Sword Hero, and the few of them exchanged wry smiles.
"What about Wu Zhiqi? And Flame God hasn't shown up either!" The Sword Hero had just finished speaking when a pile of sand in the distance suddenly exploded, and Wu Zhiqi jumped out with a sullen face. Sun Wukong immediately shouted, "We're over here, are you okay?" Wu Zhiqi shook his head from afar, but did not head towards Sun Wukong and the others. Instead, after shaking off the yellow sand on his body, he began looking for something. "What is Wu Zhiqi doing? It looks like he's searching for something, did he lose something?" Hei Kui asked, perplexed, as he watched Wu Zhiqi.
Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "I don't know, Hei Kui, go check it out. Be careful, the Nine Kirin are probably fine as well, so watch out for their ambush!" Hei Kui nodded and then walked towards Wu Zhiqi. When he reached him, Wu Zhiqi at first did not pay attention to Hei Kui, but only after Hei Kui asked did Wu Zhiqi mutter a few words in response. After Wu Zhiqi spoke, Sun Wukong's expression changed because he heard Wu Zhiqi say: "Flame God is missing, lost!"
Flame God is missing? How could Flame God be missing? What does this mean? (To be continued.
